Could SE nerf the crap out of it and make it so anyone with a passing interest could have every job wielding a zodiac weapon? I suppose, but with presumable 130 weapons being accessible from CT3, I'm leaning towards them not adjusting until after 3.0 is live. Yoshi's said previously that they're meant to be bragging rights rewards given to those who stuck with the content, and I think that will remain the hallmark for now. The game already hands out gear towards the end of a patch cycle, and I don't expect relics to become any more easily grabbed from the door than, say, folks who never set foot in coil wanting Dreadwyrm stuff.
I think they will remain status symbols. Compared to coil nerfs, Relic's have hardly been touched at all. They only lowered the soldiery requirement for the books, and increased Atma drop rate. I don't forsee them lowering the bar that much.
However as others have said they are completely not needed. FCOB up to turn 11 can easily be beaten with Soldiery and High Allagan weapons, and once you get there you get the tomestones for the magitech weapons.
So I would suggest just doing the relic on your favorite class, even if you might not use it. Worth it to look cool.
